Get Prepped
Prepare all of the ingredients. Start water boiling for ramen.
Start Cooking the Turkey
In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add ground turkey. Cook and crumble until no longer pink.
Mix Up the Sauce
In a bowl, mix sauce ingredients.
Cook the Ramen
Once water is boiling add ramen bricks. Use tongs to break up will they cook. Cook for 7 minutes then drain in a colander and rinse with cool water. Set aside.
*If you cannot find Rice Ramen bricks (I prefer Lotus Foods brand for this), you can use the instant ramen. Just make sure to reduce the cooking time, as those only take 2-3 minutes to cook through, unlike the 10 minutes the rice ramen bricks take.
Mix It All Up!
Add carrots, onions, and sauce mix to turkey and let cook for 5 minutes. Then add cooked ramen. Use tongs to stir and combine will it continues to cook for 5 minutes more.
Serve It Up
Serve in a shallow bowl with almonds and cilantro sprinkled on top. Drizzle with additional Sriracha, if desired.
*If you don’t want this to be too spicy, you could omit the additional Sriracha used as a garnish. If you remove it from the sauce, it is going to be a little bit bland, so keep that in mind.
